DH cooked dinner tonight and had some sausages on his plate along with dinner. I commented on how strong they smelled and asked where he got them. He laughed and said “from the bin”.
Last night I was checking the fridge and at the back found a pack of leek sausages dated April 1st...the pack had swelled right up and bubbles were oozing out the side, so I threw them out. These are what he’s just eaten!
Now he burping away and I can’t believe he’s that thick!
AIBU to make him sleep with a bucket tonight Angry

Did he wash the pan he used to cook them in? If so how thoroughly/what temperature?

Toadinthehole · 07/04/2018 03:00

OP, has your DH struck brown oil yet?

This thread is weirdly compelling. But I can't have been following with full attention because I missed the antecedent to this:
VanillaSugar how did he accidentally superglue his teeth?

I saw that too, vanillasugar needs to come back and tell the story

bluescreen · 07/04/2018 03:52

Tilly, there is something particularly fascinating about the qualifier 'accidentally'. As if...

I think he will be fine. Some people do really stupid stuff like this but never face any consequences.

OlennasWimple · 07/04/2018 04:42

Has anyone linked to the thread where the OP's D ate the fat balls for the birds that were chilling in the fridge?

Ooh weedsneeds I'm totally fangirling. Food scientist! I've met a couple of microbiologists in my time and I grilled them, I like science and facts about bacteria and toxins and how food poisoning works.

AlbertaSimmons · 07/04/2018 07:10

I've read this whole thread in the hope of more from weedsnseeds. Don't give a shiny about OP's DH Grin.

sillyoldowl · 07/04/2018 07:20

I don't think I ever will look at sausages the same way again

dejectedharry · 07/04/2018 07:26

Oh god this is so grim my sister did this a few months ago with sausages out of date by 7 days, she'd taken them from the fridge not the bin and she was really ill for days.

Oblomov18 · 07/04/2018 08:10

I think he'll be fine. I too have the stomach of an ox and can eat anything.

But fishing them out of the bin? Yuk.

His mil cooking the mince? Urmmmm, well mince does taste better once it's had a chance to sit and stew. Lasagne tastes better the next day.

How long are you only allowed to let a pot of mince sit for then?

dejectedharry · 07/04/2018 08:14

I don't think leaving things out on the side for 24 hours is advisable

Ihatebuildabear · 07/04/2018 08:26

Just following!!!

Paddybare · 07/04/2018 08:37

How did the night go OP?

youarenotkiddingme · 07/04/2018 08:41

Just checking to see if DH managed to get through the night without an emergency evacuation!

12345me · 07/04/2018 08:41

Tbf I leave my pot of spag Bol covered, on the hob overnight too! It taste better the next day. Reheated of course!

VanillaSugar · 07/04/2018 08:44

@sweeneytoddsrazor He was mending my car's rear view mirror and superglued his hands together. So he thought it would be a good idea to prise his hands apart using his teeth.

userinterface34 · 07/04/2018 08:47

Place marking! It’s disgusting but at the same time I need to know the outcome!

outabout · 07/04/2018 08:47

You hang game for days to 'improve' the flavour but of course the important aspect is that it is cooked thoroughly just before eating.

bluescreen · 07/04/2018 08:51

VanillaSugar that's anyone's mistake. Thank you.

I too am wondering about the superglued teeth.

My Dad ate seriously out of date stilton. Though how you'd tell it had gone off, I don't know. I'd bought him some for Christmas, it was the posh stuff in a pot where you leave the lid off for a few days before you eat it so it grows a green "skin".
He ate it slowly over a period of months until my mum found it and pitched it because it was making the fridge smell like death. He was very sad and said he'd had some that lunch time and it had been fine.
My mum likes stinky cheese and she said it was seriously off.
He was fine.
I've had food poisoning twice and both times it was due to salad. From a kebab shop. I've learned my lesson there.

Any update OP? Hope you are not busy dealing with the aftermath of a poonami.
